Unforgettable Day Exploring Hvar & the Pakleni Islands
"Our private full-day boat tour around Hvar and the Pakleni Islands was, without a doubt, the highlight of our trip to Croatia. From start to finish, the experience was seamless, relaxing, and absolutely breathtaking.
The boat itself was spacious, well-equipped, and skippered by a knowledgeable and friendly guide, Pasko, who made us feel safe and at ease throughout the journey. We cruised through crystal-clear Adriatic waters, stopping at secluded bays and hidden coves that felt like our own private paradise. Swimming, snorkeling, and paddleboarding in such untouched nature was a dream.
One of the standout moments was the stop at the striking red cliffs of Crvene Stijene—something out of a postcard. We also loved the peaceful atmosphere at Dubovica Beach, a quiet gem that gave us a true sense of escape.
Midday, we docked for lunch at a charming waterfront restaurant. The food was fresh, authentically Croatian, and paired perfectly with local wine and the view—an experience in itself. Later, we strolled through Hvar Old Town, soaking in its history, lively energy, and stunning architecture.
This tour offered the perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and culture. It was well worth the price for a full day of unforgettable memories. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore the Dalmatian Coast in style and comfort."

THE BLUE LAGOON TOUR WAS AMAZING
"Absolutely loved the Blue Lagoon and Šolta tour. Those hidden bays and empty beaches are epic. I used the underwater scooter and it was so fun! A fantastic day out for a small group. Highly recommend."

"Easily the highlight of our time in Split! the boat was perfect for our family of five and had everything we could possibly need — Pasko our skipper, and the owners Maria and Grant were the kindest people. Ready to plan a trip back just to see them. If I could give more than 5 stars i would!"

Incredible Private Island Experience
"Island Discovery organised an exceptional private tour for my family and I, picking us from Le Meridien Lav Hotel to the serene islands of Drvenik Mali and Drvenik Veliki. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, and the entire day is something we will be talking about for years to come.
The speedboat was clean, spacious, and incredibly comfortable — perfect for relaxing as we cruised along the Adriatic. Our skipper Pasko was friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. We were provided with high-quality equipment including a sea scooter, paddle board, and snorkels, which made exploring the water even more enjoyable.
One of the most memorable parts of the day was anchoring in a quiet bay to swim in the most stunning, crystal-clear water and have fun with the new sea scooter. We sunbathed, talked and laughed over a chilled glass of Rose nibbling on some fresh fruit - all courtesy of Island Discovery. Later, we continued to a peaceful spot on the island where we enjoyed an amazing lunch at unique little restaurant 'Vela Rina' .... featuring fresh fish, ceviche, and a spread of delicious Croatian specialties — all paired with outstanding local wine.
This experience was the perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and authentic island charm. We wholeheartedly recommend Island Discovery to anyone looking for a truly special way to explore the Dalmatian coast. Thank you for creating such a beautiful and memorable day for our family!"

Incredible Day Exploring Hvar & Pakleni Islands with Island Discovery and Skipper Paško!
"We had an amazing day out on the water with Island Discovery, exploring the breathtaking beauty of Hvar and the Pakleni Islands. This was hands down one of the highlights of our trip to Croatia!
Our skipper, Paško, was absolutely fantastic — warm, professional, and clearly passionate about the sea. He made us feel safe and relaxed the entire time, and his knowledge of the area was incredible. From secret swimming spots to quiet beaches and stunning snorkelling coves, he showed us the very best of the islands — all while sharing local stories and tips that gave the trip a really personal feel.
The boat itself was clean, comfortable, and perfect for a day of sun and sea. We also stopped for lunch at a beautiful seaside restaurant (Paško’s recommendation — and it did not disappoint!).
If you’re planning to visit Hvar, Island Discovery is the way to go — and if you can, ask for Paško as your skipper. You’ll have a relaxed, memorable, and truly authentic experience you’ll be talking about long after your trip is over.
Thank you Island Discovery — and thank you, Paško!"
